< Isaiah 2 >
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Nke a bụ ihe Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ banyere Juda na Jerusalem.
2 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to it.
Nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke eguzobere dịka ugwu dị elu karịa ugwu niile, a ga-ebuli ya elu karịa ugwu nta niile, mba niile dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
3 And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-abịa ma sịkwa, “Bịanụ, ka anyị rigoruo ugwu Onyenwe anyị, ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke Jekọb. Ọ ga-akụziri anyị ụzọ ya niile, ka anyị nwe ike jee ije nʼokporoụzọ ya niile.” Iwu ga-esi na Zayọn pụta, okwu Onyenwe anyị ga-esitekwa na Jerusalem pụta.
4 And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti mba niile, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge; kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha mee ya ka ọ ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
Unu ụlọ Jekọb, bịanụ ka anyị na-agbaso ìhè nke Onyenwe anyị anyị.
6 For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
Gị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Ị gbakụtala ndị gị, bụ ụlọ Jekọb azụ. Nʼihi na ha jupụtara nʼikpere arụsị nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Ha na-ajụkwa ase dịka ndị Filistia. Ha na ndị na-ekpere arụsị na-ejikọkwa aka.
7 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
Ala ha jupụtara nʼọlaọcha na ọlaedo, ha bara ụba nke ukwuu. Ala ha jupụtara nʼịnyịnya. Ụgbọ agha ha dịkwa ukwuu.
8 And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
Ala ha jupụtara nʼarụsị, ha na-akpọ isiala nye ihe ndị ahụ ha ji aka ha kpụọ, ihe ndị ahụ mkpịsịaka ha kpụrụ.
9 And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
Nʼihi ya, a ga-eme ka mmadụ bụrụ ihe e wedara nʼala, meekwa ka mmadụ niile bụrụ ndị e wedara nʼala. Ya mere, agbagharala ha.
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
Gaanụ nʼime nkume, zoonụ nʼime ala nʼihi ihe egwu si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya.
11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
Anya nke onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ ka a ga-ewedakwa nʼala. Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwere ụbọchị ọ kwadooro nye ndị mpako na ndị na-ebuli onwe ha elu, nʼihi na ihe niile e buliri elu (ka a ga-eweda nʼala),
13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
nye osisi sida niile topụrụ ogologo ma maa mma nke Lebanọn, na osisi ook niile nke Bashan,
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
nye ugwu ukwu niile nke dị elu, na ugwu nta niile e buliri elu,
15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
nye ụlọ elu niile, na mgbidi niile e wusiri ike,
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
nye ụgbọ mmiri niile e ji azụ ahịa, na ụgbọ mmiri ndị ọzọ niile buru ibu maa mma.
17 And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
Onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ niile ka a ga-eweda nʼala. Naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
18 And the idols—they completely pass away.
A ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mee ka ha ghara ịdịkwa.
19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Ndị mmadụ ga-agba ọsọ gbaba nʼọnụ dị na nkume, na nʼọnụ e gwuru nʼala, nʼihi egwu Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe ọ ga-ebili ịyọgharị ụwa.
20 In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ha ga-atụfusị arụsị ọlaedo na nke ọlaọcha ha kpụrụ, nke ha kpụrụ ma na-efe, hapụrụ ha ụmụ oke, na ụmụ ụsụ.
21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-ezo onwe ha nʼoghere niile dị nʼoke nkume, na nʼime ọgba niile nke oke nkume nʼihi ịgbanarị iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị, na ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe o biliri ịyọgharị ụwa.
22 Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
Kwụsị ịtụkwasị mmadụ efu obi. O nweghị ihe ọ bụ karịa naanị nkuume ahụ dị ya nʼime, nʼihi gịnị ka e ji agụnye ya?
